🛡 Anthropic Calls for a Global Pause in AI Development
The company warns of the risks of recursive self-improvement. By May 2026, more than 80% of the code at Anthropic had already been written by Claude models, shifting the pace of progress from human to computational.
🌍 The transition to AI-driven development creates a risk of uncontrolled acceleration of progress, where systems design their successors faster than humans can implement safety mechanisms.
👤 The growth rate of AI is now determined by the power of computing clusters rather than the speed of human thought, making development exponential.
